• This wine is ruby-red with garnet reflections.  Intense aromas of cherry, plum, clove and cinnamon eminate from the glass.  Fresh and intense, the berry/cherry fruit is slightly offset be a slight hint of roasted citrus.  Smooth tannic structure and great balance make this wine an early pleasure.
  

• Colored an intense, garnet red, the fruity nose on the 'Osso San Grato' overflows with powerful notes of black cherry, dried rose, and violet, with complexity added by a distinct note of tar.  Intensely flavored to match, the full-bodied Gattinara is austere and yet generous, with sweet and velvety tannins balanced by a long finish.
  
  The grapes, grown in sub-acid morainic (soils originating from an ancient glacier) and volcanic (rich in minerals) soils with a southern exposure, are all hand-picked.  After being delicately pressed they are left to ferment with a 14-16 day period of maceration on the skins as the must is pumped over with automatic sprinklers.  Maturation begins in medium capacity oak barrels for 30 months, finishing in the bottle for 1 year before release.
  

• Deep, garnet red in color, the Bricco Fiasco has a fine, ethereal nose that tantalizes with fruity and spicy aromas layered under notes of tobacco and licorice.  It is warm and rich on the palate, very soft in the mouth, balancing ripe and sweet tannins with excellent freshness.

"Arneis is a native varietal which produces a very fruity wine with hints of pears and apples. Its fragrance and flavor are also enhanced by the small amount of CO2 kept from the fermentation, which also helps to make up for the variety’s low acidity."

The Rossana vineyard, in the Madonna Como district on the outskirts of Alba, has always been considered the top Dolcetto d’Alba cru."
